I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Macy's (Troy, MI) in Jul 2015
Interview
I arrived at HR in Macy's. The interviewer was 30-45 minutes late to the appointment. It was not that big of a deal, though. The front desk lady and other employees were fun to talk to. I was comfortable because of them. The interviewer was nice. We talked about our interests and we discussed my past-work. I was going to go back to school after summer ended, so I did not receive a call back due to this reason I believe.

Seemed like a standard interview, except for the fact that it was virtual and I had to record myself answering question prompts. This was my first time doing an interview though.

Interview
Horrible company . I used to work there and they still denied me . Horrible company in general. The managers look down on you and they they are better than everyone walking around with purses while we use plastic bags to carry our stuff
